In nanotechnology, Can someone tell me what all various types of morphology are studied in nano-materials? Kindly suggest any reference linking to the topic
The morphologies of nanoparticles depend on the orientations of crystals in them. A wide variety of nanoparticles morphologies is seen in the literature, such as spherical, cubic, trigonal, tetrahedral, hexagonal, octahedral, decahedral, polyhedral, rods, petal, spinel, tube-like, floral and so on. you may see the following:
The type of morphology of nano-materials are highly dependent on the nature of application. For example, if you would like to use your nano-materials as adsorbents then BET specific surface area (SSA), Point of zero charge (pHPZC), XRD and SEM are more than enough to know about the surface. Good luck!
